where Pe(γϕ2) is the conditional SER of ϕ2 ∈ {SR, RD} link and γϕ2 is the corresponding instan- taneous SNR defined as in (4.8a) and (4.8b). The end-to-end average SER is obtained by taking expectation of (4.28) as
Pe = E[Pe(γSR, γRD)]
= 1−(1−Pe,SR)(1−Pe,RD), (4.29)
where Pe,SR=E[Pe(γSR)] and Pe,RD =E[Pe(γRD)]. Pe,SR is given in (4.23) for ϕ1 =SR and Pe,RD is obtained using the MGF based approach. The PDF of the instantaneous link SNR γRD = 2(t2)2, where t2 =ν2|hSR||hRD|is obtained using (4.16) as

4.3.2.1 With SD Link
The end-to-end average SER in (4.19) for ¯γϕ → ∞ is given by
Pe∞ ≃ Pe,SR∞ Pe,SD∞ +Pe,EGC∞ , (4.34)
wherePe,SR∞ ,Pe,SD∞ , andPe,EGC∞ are the high SNR approximations ofPe,SR,Pe,SD, andPe,EGC, respec- tively. Now, Pe,SD∞ and Pe,SR∞ can be obtained using the high SNR approximation of MGF in (4.22), that is, Mϕ1(s)≈(s¯γϕ1/mϕ1)−mϕ1 and (4.26) as
Pe,ϕ∞1 ≈ aMΓ(1/2 +mϕ1) 2√

In order to determine Pe,EGC∞ , we approximate PDF and MGF of γEGC at high SNR. Since EGC combines signal received via independentSDandRDlinks, PDF and MGF ofγEGCare approximated at high SNR for each link individually.
The PDF in (4.16) is rewritten using (B.4) as

where Kr(y) is ther-th order modified Bessel’s function of the second kind. Now, using the relation (B.6), (4.36) can be approximated for ¯γ2→ ∞. We find two cases while doing the approximation: a) (mSR−mRD) = 0 and b) |mSR−mRD|>0.
a) For (mSR−mRD) = 0: Let mSR = mRD = ma, the approximation of (4.36) realized using (B.6) is

4.3.2.2 Without SD Link
The high SNR approximation of the end-to-end SER in (4.29) is given by
Pe∞ ≃ Pe,SR∞ +Pe,RD∞ , (4.47)
where Pe,SR∞ and Pe,RD∞ are the high SNR approximation of Pe,SR and Pe,RD, respectively. Pe,SR∞ is same as (4.35) for ϕ1 =SR and Pe,RD∞ is determined using the high SNR approximation of the PDF expression in (4.30). Now, to determine Pe,RD∞ ,fγRD∞ (γRD) is obtained using (4.30), (B.4) and (B.6) for the cases: a) (mSR−mRD) = 0 and b) |mSR−mRD|>0 as

Pe,RD∞ ≈ A2(B2+ρ2ln(¯γRD))
(¯γRD)µ2 . (4.50)
A2,B2,ρ2, and µ2 are defined for each case as follows
a) For (mSR−mRD) = 0 : µ2 = ma, ρ2 = 1, A2 = (aMΓ(1/2 +ma)(ma)2ma)/(2√
πΓ(ma)Γ(1 + ma)gma), andB2=−ψ(ma)−ψ(ma+ 1/2) +ψ(ma+ 1)−ln(4(ma)2/g).
b) For|mSR−mRD|>0: µ2 =mb,ρ2 = 0,B2 = 1, and
